I don't think there will be an Animal Crossing on Wii U.

It will be transferred to be a launch title for the Nintendo Fusion/3DS successor in 2016.

And it will be a much smarter move, because it will end up selling a lot more as a result.

Wii U will get a new Zelda, and probably a new Metroid, but I think Animal Crossing and Mario Galaxy 3 have already been shifted over as early Fusion products for a while now.

Nintendo knows they cannot repeat the Wii U/3DS launches with the 3DS successor (Fusion). They will need their big guns ready there early on.

Besides I think Animal Crossing has become a more portable centric franchise for a while now. The Wii game did not sell to Nintendo's expectations, it's unlikely a Wii U version would given its far worse install base. 

If I had to guess I'd say the following projects are in development for Wii U past 2014:

Legend of Zelda U (2015), Xenoblade (2015), Splatoon (2015), Mario Maker (2015), Kirby Rainbow Curse (2015), Yoshi's Wooly World (2015), Mario Party 10 (2015), Devil's Third (2015), Pokken Fighters (2016), Star Fox (2016), Metroid Hunters U (2016), SMT x Fire Emblem (2016), Diddy Kong Racing U (2016). 

However, I would say Mario Galaxy 3 (2016), Animal Crossing Next (2016), Luigi's Mansion 3 (2016/17), Mario Kart 9 (2016/17) are already in development for the Fusion/3DS successor. Maybe even something like SMT x Fire Emblem has been transferred to be in development for both Fusion + Wii U.

I won't be surprised if Animal Crossing will be one of the holiday 2015 titles!

Animal Crossing + Mario Galaxy 3 + Mario Kart 9 will be the "holy trinity" for the Fusion platform launch window IMO.

Animal Crossing - May/June 2016 (launch title)
Mario Galaxy 3 - August 2016 (second wave title)
Mario Kart 9 - December 2016 (big holiday title)

Nintendo won't f*ck around this time, they will make sure they have multiple big games early in the life cycle for their next platform. It's at least one of the few things they have full control over. 

I think Nintendo will also release a general "Nintendo Universe" game using amiibo toys for 2016 for Wii U, Fusion, and 3DS.
